  • Publication number: 20120275021
    Abstract: Depth-enhancing screens for producing a simulated 3D image. According to one aspect, the depth-enhancing screen comprises a Fresnel lens and the screen is adapted to be arranged adjacent an image source such that the Fresnel lens is arranged between the image source and a viewer and the optical centre of the Fresnel lens is offset from the geometric center of the screen. The screen may be formed from multiple overlaying Fresnel lens, which may different optical centers. The Fresnel lenses may be flat or curved along their height and/or width to form an apex in the central region.

  • Patent number: 7990613
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a depth-enhancing screen for producing a simulated 3D image. The screen comprises a multi-curved Fresnel lens which when viewed in cross-section along the or each longest line linking two points on the edge of the lens, has a curved cross-section with an apex in the central region of the lens, and wherein each end of the curve flattens before it reaches the edge of the lens.

  • Publication number: 20070297073
    Abstract: System for producing a simulated 3D image from a 2D image having a fresnel lens with two planes of curvature transverse to each other so as to create a substantially convex. The fresnel lens may be flexible and positioned within a mount configured with adjustable tensioning members so as to tune the optical characteristics of the fresnel lens so as to optimise production of the simulated 3D image.
